ADEA will mostly want to use these two templates:

  • If you want an interior page with Title and 'In this section': use "Interior - Title, Navigations"
  • If you want an interior page with only the Title: use "Interior - Title"

These are also available:

  • If you want a full width page: use "Blank"
  • If you want the interior page columns but no pre-set Title or In this Section: use "Interior-Blank"
  • If you want an interior page with only 'In this Section': use "Interior - Navigations"
  • If you want an interior page with an image behind the Title and 'In this section': use "Title, Navigations with Background Image."
  • If you want an interior page with only the title and an image behind the Title: use "Title with Background Image."
